Thanks again, to the "Sun Managers Crew": Option 1: Buy used hardware (A few suggested this one) - I will have to go this route, as this is particular system is a "legacy" system. - We migrated to Solaris 10 and Linux for our current software -- we're talking to this company about upgrading their systems soon Option 2: Buy a Sun Netra 210, which is available up until 6/09 (Thanks to Eric Garcia!) - This is a really good option, but with the warranty available from third-party vendors, option 1 beats it out on pricing since in our case, we're moving down an upgrade path with this company Option 3: Run a Solaris 8 "Container" in Solaris 10 => MOST POPULAR SUGGESTION - While this probably makes sense for the most part, it would require this configuration to be tested extensively -- This is a "Five-Nine's" environment, so no room for error - I can't imagine that with the amount of testing required, that this would be a good option for anyone (unless you're stuck with something that you do not have the source code for) We actually migrated our software straight to Sol 10 (skipped 9), and it's worked well for us so far.
